Uktar 8, 1372 DR (4:00 PM) Deep Wastes: Glouroth's Chasm

The tunnel opens into the floor of a chasm with no visible ceiling.
The floor is covered with huge boulders and broken rubble. A path has
been cleared through the rubble to a huge cliff with sheer walls on the
opposite wall. A great chime with a heavy iron mallet hangs at the
mouth of the tunnel.

"That summons our ride," suggests Igor.
"Let's take that and use it as a dinner bell back in Sigil," suggests
Hazen. "It may function that way here."

We retreat down the tunnel to discuss the situation.

Yol offers to cast an Augury. Tebryn scowls. "If there is any risk at
all, it'll tell YOU 'woe', right?"

"No other way to proceed?" says Igor.

"We could fly," suggests Hazen. "The ceiling might be painted with
Frescos. Or the stalactites could be carved."

"I'm willing to fly up and scout," says Igor.

"So, you and Hazen will fly up invisibly?" says Veracity. "Good idea."

"I feel sorry for piercers," babbles Hazen. "They get one shot and
then spend a whole day climbing up again."

"What the hell does that have to do with our current situation?" says
Kress irritably.

"Let's scout," says Igor.

"Wait," says Veracity. "I have something for Hazen, first." She pulls
a strip of cloth out her pocket and moves up to Hazen.

"No, no!" says Hazen. "As soon as I go invisible, I'll be silent."

Igor drinks a potion of Darkvision. Igor and Hazen turn invisible and
take off. They fly invisibly out of the tunnel mouth.

As they fly up the cliff, about 60 feet up, 20 feet to the right is a
cave opening. Very dark.

Tebryn spreads out Portable Hole. He loads the Chime into it. Yol
Detects Magic on the items and loads the other items into the Hole.

We fly up and find the Howling Wing cave, home of Gindul & 4
Kir-lannan. Tebryn Spots a suspicious pile of loose stones. Hazen
greedily jumps and top of the pile and scrabbles through it. He pulls
out a Belt pouch of Drow manufacture and a wand. Tebryn opens the
pouch and finds 30 PP, 55 GP and 80 SP.

We fly over to the Screeching Wing cave, home of Phykuul and 3
Kir-lannan. Igor searches and sees the hidden nook and finds a cache of
390 GP, 860 SP, a copper bracelet worth 60, and a fine mithril necklace
of sapphires worth 1100 GP, and a gold hairnet worth 250 GP.

Igor searches for another exit and finds nothing.

We fly past the blocked entrance to Glouroth's cave. At the top of the
cliff, the tunnel stretches towards the East. The Cliff is 300 feet
tall. There is another chime, which we load into the Portable Hole.
